The Rabeca is a Brazilian folk violin brought to the country by Portuguese settlers in the 16th century.
Rabecas are assigned the number 321.322-71 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
32 = Composite Chordophone. Acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid-body electric chordophones.
321 = Lutes. Instruments where the plane of the strings runs parallel with the resonator’s surface.
321.3 = Handle Lutes. Instruments in which the string bearer is a plain handle.
321.32 = Necked Lutes. Instrument in which the handle is attached to, or carved from, the resonator, like a neck
321.322 = Necked Box Lutes. Instruments in which the resonator is built up from wood.
321.322-7 = Instruments where the strings are vibrated by bowing.
321.322-71 = Instruments where the strings vibrated using a bow.
At a Tashlikh celebration on Venice Beach. Tashlikh is a Jewish tradition (part of Rosh Hashana--the Jewish New Year) in which Jews cast their sins away in the form of throwing bread into the ocean. The celebration was very musical--it was, essentially, a massive drum circle.

The Cajinto is an instrument developed by the German company Schlagwerk to combine the sounds of a Cajun and a Quinto (A Cuban conga drum).
This version was developed with the percussionist Roland Peil. It has a beachwood playing surface and an alder body.
Cajintos are assigned the number 111.24 in the Hornbostel Sachs classification of musical instruments indicating:
1 = Idiophones. Sound is primarily produced by the actual body of the instrument vibrating, rather than a string, membrane, or column of air.
11 = Struck Idiophones. These idiophones are set in vibration by being struck.
111 = Directly Struck Idiophones. The player himself executes the movement of striking; whether by mechanical intermediate devices, beaters, keyboards, or by pulling ropes, etc.
111.2 = Percussive idiophones. The instrument is struck either with a non-sonorous object (hand, stick, striker) or against a non-sonorous object (human body, the ground).
111.24 = Percussion vessels.
